Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons of honey
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh lime zest
  • 1 clove of garlic, finely minced or crushed
  • 1 boneless skinless chicken breast, halved horizontally

Instructions

  • Combine the marinade ingredients in a shallow bowl and submerge the chicken breasts
  • Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and chill until ready to cook or begin cooking right away
  • Place a large skillet over medium heat
  • Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the underside is golden brown and caramelized
  • Flip the chicken and add the remaining marinade into the skillet
  • Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the marinade has reduced to a syrupy consistency (reduce the heat, if the sauce begins bubbling too rapidly)
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board, slice and spoon over the reduced marinade
  • Serve with greens, rice or in tacos or burritos
